CANDYLAND - One thing Jacob never truly questioned was the quality of his work. He was well aware of his skill as a writer, so if he poured his heart into something, and then other people didn’t like it, he thought it no fault of his own. To Jacob, the act of critiquing art was essentially imprecise. That’s why he didn’t read reviews on anything he liked, be it a book, a movie, or a record. He believed that any work an artist puts forth which contains the truth as he or she sees it is worthy of consideration, and any commentary of the work beyond that is nothing more than pure individual opinion and should not be considered relevant to the work itself.
